Water polo was not included in the earliest list of sports confirmed for the 2015 Games, as the European swimming authorities at that stage were minded not to take part. However, following negotiations with the organising authorities, a compromise was reached whereby, in 2015, these events were for junior players only - in effect, athletes between the ages of 16 and 17 for both men and women.
Qualification
Both of Azerbaijan's teams automatically qualify. The 2013 European Junior Championships will qualify automatically, as well as the qualification tournaments for the 2015 European Junior Championships will serve as qualification tournaments for the Games. Each qualifying team will be allowed to select 13 athletes for their team.[2]
